    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill, and from the word go to say that we cannot belabour the importance of Government getting data. It is very important for Government to get data because it helps in planning for economic growth of a country. It is also very important that we safeguard the privacy and data of individuals. For a very long time, we have been thinking that this Bill should have even come before Huduma Namba was introduced. We know that even the details of the young children were taken. We know that our details were taken but the good thing is that once this Bill passes, still the information that was collected during Huduma Namba exercise cannot be used in any other way without the express consent of an individual. Sometimes the Directorate of Criminal Investigations needs information. If they are matters to do with terrorism, they are provided for in this Bill and taken care of. Sometimes they keep following us especially politicians every time trying to get information from our phones and things like that. Now, they can go to court and ask for access to that information without accessing it without consent. It is scary to think that people can access all your information and data and you do not know what they could use that information for. Some of them are a nuisance. We have seen people sending other people messages. We have seen companies and businesses sending messages and you wonder where they got your contact from, but now it will be express that they will need to get your consent for them to get your details before they use your data. For that reason, I support."
